    • Mr. Heater Big Buddy Heater, 4,000 to 18,000 BTU Propane Heater
Style: Space Heater
I purchased this product because despite running two very efficient and very expensive heat pumps, my home was always cold. Additionally, my electric bill was becoming more and more outrageous. I was hopeful that the Mr. Heater Big Buddy Heater would at least be able to heat up my bedroom and also be able to heat up the master bathroom for showers and such. That said, I have been extraordinarily happy with the performance of the Big Buddy Heater. The heat output can be tailored to the exact needs of the moment, there are no unpleasant smells produced by the heater, and the fact that it puts out infrared heat makes it very pleasant to be near when the room is chilly. The heater is very easy to start with its piezo igniter and the heat produced is infinitely adjustable from low (4,000 BTU) to high (18,000 BTU). While the model I purchased did not come with the built-in heat distribution fan, I was able to add the factory fan with a purchase through Amazon (Mr. Heater Big Buddy Heater Back Cover Fan (E78404) (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09S16JL8G)). I would recommend that everyone purchase the new Big Buddy Pro model that does come with the factory built-in fan. I use the Mr. Heater 6-Volt Power Adapter to power my heater's newly added fan (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HE6OAE). I also use the Mr. Heater 12' Hose with Regulator & Quick Disconnect (F271803) (www.amazon.com/12ft-Big-Buddy-Hose-Regulator/dp/B000UC7966) to supply low-pressure propane to my heater. I have found the Big Buddy Heater to be very efficient in its use of propane. It has saved me a great deal of money by not having to use my heat pumps to stay warm. In summary, I have been overwhelmingly happy with my Mr. Heater Big Buddy Heater purchase. I have had no problems of any kind with the product. Further, I have been so happy with the performance of the heater that I have purchased a second one. Mr. Heater should be very proud of this product. ... show more

    • Working Great
Style: Space Heater
Has been working super the past few weeks, off and on. Detecting no leaks with a hose (20 lb. tank) and filter installed. Warms the room quickly, even on the low setting. Medium and high settings seem to be working as advertised also. Will have to use those settings as Winter worsens. I use a heat powered fan sitting on a 5 gal metal paint grid and it works fantastic. ... show more

    • Lifesaver at cold events!
Style: Space Heater
I bought this for our tent at the Ohio Renaissance Festival for October and I’m soooo glad I did. On high, it drives out moisture and raises the temps pretty quickly. On low, it staves off the worst of the chill. This is using it in an open front 15’ vending tent. If you’re using it in smaller places, it’s going to be even better. Easy to use, and easy to load/reload propane canisters. On high this does go through a fair amount of fuel- just bring a few more than you think you need. ... show more

Review Image by Sean Sean
Do Excellent product. Very powerful, easily heated our 10x10 canvas tent on some pretty cold nights. Takes 2 small size propane bottles which last 4 hours on high. Medium and low setting last longer. Read some compl9aints that it doesn’t have a fan as it used to but that’s easily remedied with any number of portable usb chargeable fans. Just a little circulation overhead makes a big difference. Great brand, portable obviously. The last night in Death Valley was very cold and was able be comfortable mostly on medium. Adapter is also available to add a larger size propane tank which of course means it would last much longer. Worth every penny. Good safety features, not too heavy. ... show more

    • Great heater but there is no blower on all newest models
Style: Space Heater
This heater does work very well and might have gotten 5 stars from me except for one thing. I have another of these Big Buddys and they have always (for many years until now) had a low power but very functional squirrel cage type blower built inside the top of the unit. It does increase the efficiency quite a bit by directing wasted heat out the front. This blower runs on batteries or on an a/c adapter. The a/c adapters are still shown as a recommended additional item to go with the new heaters. The new heater I ordered indeed has a battery compartment door. It was frustrating to try to remove the battery door normally with the spring clip release as it simply would not release. Finally I used small screw driver to pry it and discovered it was actually glued on, and then it popped off. Inside was a battery compartment with battery placement instructions but with no terminals and the a/c adapter plug hole is simply filled with silicone. Upon inspecting the inside through the top vents I could see a blower housing with no blower. I called Mr Heater and was told a bs story of how "tariffs" "forced" them to not include a blower but then not tell anyone it no longer was included. I told the agent they should have just charged $10 or whatever more instead of secretly degrading a previously great product and blaming "tariffs" and pretending there was no change. I returned unit and located last years model at a local hardware store which has a blower and it certainly does work better with the blower as I had both types functioning to test. These are fairly wind stable also as the glowing panels will relight the pilot in a pretty stiff breeze, but if the direct wind is real strong the pilot can be extinguished, but the unit will safely just shut off. Note that these are surprisingly far more wind stable than the bare Mr Heater tank top heaters which a medium strong wind can cause a scary "flame out" overheating malfunction where the whole thing roars and turns red hot, not safe at all. There are lots of the old model red Big Buddys out there still with blowers. The gray Big Buddys all have blowers too. It works OK with no blower, but they are better with blower. Stop recommending the a/c adapter to go with the new no-blower ones. ... show more
